CadiaN says Heroic \u201chave no limits\u201d at PGL Stockholm CSGO Major Jo\u00e3o Ferreira \/ Dexerto Casper \u2018cadiaN\u2019 M\u00f8ller was impressed with his team after grinding out a tough win at the PGL Stockholm Major against Virtus.Pro. They\u2019ll face tougher competition in the semis but Heroic\u2019s IGL believes his team \u201chave no limits\u201d and will answer the call. Nerves are expected for the first LAN event, let alone Major, in two years. They were in full show at the PGL Stockholm CS:GO Major playoffs, where Virtus.pro and Heroic faced off in the top 8. There were shaky moments by both VP and Heroic on the first half of the opening map, Mirage. But the game would eventually stabilize for both teams into an all-out slugfest. All three maps went over 25 rounds and it quickly became a war of attrition the longer the series dragged on. Heroic, and by extension VP, dug deep into their playbooks to find any edge they could manage. Rounds came down to individual talents having to clutch out bad situations. This persisted through Ancient to the final map of Inferno, and cadiaN wouldn\u2019t have had it any other way. \u201cWe\u2019ve seen it from [Ismail \u2018refrezh\u2019 Ali],\u201d he told Dexerto after their 2-1 triumph over their CIS quarter-final opponents. \u201c[Martin \u2018Stavn\u2019 Lund] as well. Me and him in a two-on-three, two-on-four on Ancient. [Ren\u00e9 \u2018TeSeS\u2019 Madsen] is making magical moments. [Rasmus \u2018sjuush\u2019 Beck] is all of them. \u201cYou can take any player and YouTube a clutch from them and it\u2019ll be absolutely insane.\u201d Heroic\u2019s clutch gene needed vs VP CadiaN was amazed by his team\u2019s effort. Of all the squads at the Major, few test a group\u2019s resilience like VP. Whether they full-send the team to get a bomb plant or get a pick on-site just to fall back into silence, the former Avangar core \u2014 who made the finals in Berlin two years ago \u2014 kept Heroic guessing throughout. Mental fortitude and infallible communication were required from the Danes.

Refrezh\u2019s disrespectful 3k on Ancient broke a 5-5 tie and even defied the IGL\u2019s expectations. \u201cRefrezh with the deagle. Holy\u2013 I\u2019m about to swear,\u201d he said. \u201cI told him \u2018you have an AWP.\u2019 He just keeps the deagle, goes out and gets another one\u2026 I don\u2019t think I\u2019ve seen anything like it for quite some time on LAN.\u201d They would go on to lose Ancient off of VP star Dzhami \u2018Jame\u2019 Ali\u2019s game-high 28 kills and Timur \u2018buster\u2019 Tulepov\u2019s 1.35 performance rating. But Heroic were looking forward to playing on their second-best map of Inferno where a rising star would start to shine. TeSeS became the difference-maker his team needs him to be in this Major. His 1.49 rating outpaced everyone on the server, tacking on 24 kills with 14 headshots. Though VP held its nerve to keep it competitive, Heroic ran away with the last map after warming up to the stage. Heroic have no limits Before the Major, Heroic was a good team that had great players who would break down at the worst times. During the Major, they hit a level of consistency to make them a threat to everyone. Now, in the playoffs, they\u2019re looking to improve their chances with the intangibles that define Major winners at their core. \u201cThis team has no limits,\u201d cadiaN said. \u201cThe players, individually, are so good. The team vibe is amazing and everyone is pretty goddamn clutch. \u201cI think we exceeded expectations in the way we played and how our communication was. I was so impressed. Very calm, very collected.\u201d Natus Vincere (NAVI) are looked at as the heavy favorites going into Stockholm. Coincidentally, that\u2019s who the 26-year-old IGL wants to face off against the most. If Heroic struggled with VP, then they\u2019re really going to be tested in the semi-finals versus G2. And that\u2019s not to mention NAVI, should they both make it to the Grand Finals. But the Danes know what they need to improve to stare down the world No.1 team. \u201cWe need to win the 2v2s, 1v1s, 1v2s [against NAVI],\u201d cadiaN explained. \u201cBecause we should\u2019ve beaten them in the last best-of-3 \u2026 and [we] lost. \u201c[In the group stage], it was the same. They won like three, four clutches in the end which defined the game. The clutches will be key.\u201d Of the teams still at the PGL Major, Heroic have the most clutches (21) across their starters. Stavn and refrezh lead the way with six each. There\u2019s still a long way to go before the Grand Finals but Heroic have a renewed sense of confidence and are ready to blow everyone\u2019s expectations at Stockholm.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
